On another thread, Brian Dudley said "I have seen much variation in the forend patterns on SBT guns. Every one seems to be a little different."
I thought that was an interesting topic and perhaps folks could post examples of Parker SBT forend checkering. I'll start it off with a SA and a SB. I'll follow up later with a couple of SCs.

One of the more interesting ones that I have seen. On an SC.
These photos were taken after I finished recutting the original checkering.

Here are some more that I have here.
Obviously the white diamond inlaid in the one is not orignal.

Interesting that the two SA's (mine and Jim's) are virtually same and my SB and Brian's first SC are over the top in comparison.

Yeah, Jims SA example is rather plain for the grade.

Perhaps they wanted to go with a simpler pattern with finer checkering to balance out the full coverage engraving. Simple and elegant.

The only difference I see in SC checkering patterns is some have a line connecting the panels.
